Hermione crying

This is my second post only so hello again...

I've read DH twice and both times I felt strange when I saw Hermione crying when I didn't 
think it was natural to cry.
 
I can think of 2 instances now but I suspect there were more.

First was at Bill's wedding when Kingsley's patronus announced that the ministry had fallen 
and the trio had to run.  Hermione was described as "half sobbing" as she and Harry tried 
to find Ron in the crowd.  Later she was again weeping while she was on the dragon after 
breaking out of Gringotts.  I felt odd when I saw her cry both times, as I don't think it was 
natural for anybody to cry during these extreme emergencies, when you are more 
confused than scared, and especially not Hermione.  

She was always the one with the escape plan, the one who pulled them out of tight spots.    
If she sheds a few tears afterwards when she'd calmed down and had to get over the 
aftermaths of those extreme actions, I can totally understand... Yet I think it's a bit out of 
character for her to cry as soon as something happens!

I don't think Jo is ever sexist and writes with sexual stereotypes, but these instances strike 
me as odd.

Cheers
